Have three modules, A, B, and C, with A and B both importing C using
xsl:import. Include the parts that differ (in your case, the xsl:output
declarations) in A and B, and the common parts in C. Run the
transformation nominating A or B as the principal stylesheet, depending
which output format you want.

Subject: [xsl] Maintainability Problem
Hi-
I haven't used XSL in a while, and I am facing a
maintainability problem.
I have created two XSLs, one which is with a DOCTYPE for HTML
4.01, the other for XHTML Basic. These XSLs are exactly the
same, except for these parts of my XSL:
HTML 4.01
---------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";
encoding="iso-8859-1"
indent="yes"/>
...and
XHTML 1.0
---------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:output method="xml"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd";
encoding="iso-8859-1"
indent="yes"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
Does someone know an easy way in which I could have two
files, one with the HTML 4.01 header and one with the XHTML
1.0 header, and I could reuse them whenever I wanted by
calling them in XSLs when needed. For example, could I just
do an include of these headers rather than having to copy
them in each file?
Please let me know,
Many thanks,
